Did some measurement according to the class rules on the “out-of-the-box” sail:

Dragon defeated by Micomagics in light wind conditions
Yesterday I had a Dragon fight with Micromagics at the Wednesday evening competition.
As I’m still using the standard out-of-the-box sail, my expectations weren’t that high.
But what happened was really dramatic….
It seems that the micros were dancing around my Dragon, having lot of fun showing off……
I have to say that the wind speed was around 1-3 knots most of the time, sailed with a short keel version (-15cm) and had a lot of twist in the sails.
But also in winds around 4-6 knots the Dragon was just a little faster than the micros 😦 (top micro sailers NED)
So what’s next? Waiting for the Race rigs? Experimenting of creating my own rig?
I really need a clean fast victory over those micro’s at all kind of circumstances 😉
Any tips or tricks??
All advise is welcome.
Dragon’s first swim
Woensdag avond was het zover. De ‘maiden trip’ voor de Zwarte Magica RG65 NED-26
Als extra boot in een veld met micromagic’s werd er deelgenomen aan de woensdag avond wedstrijden bij de Kralingsche Zeilclub in Rotterdam.
Het was even wennen zo’n nieuwe boot en er valt nog genoeg aan te trimmen.
Het eerste doel is in ieder geval gesteld: NK RG65 2013 in Blokzijl op 27 Oktober.
Als het meezit worden de nieuwe onderdelen van de tuigage (A-B-C & A-Swing) op tijd geleverd door mijn ‘huisleverancier’ VAM-Sails.
